Women’s Network Breakfast: Sheila Lirio Marcelo, Care.com

October 10, 2019 7:30 am – 9:00 am Renaissance Boston Waterfront, Grand Ballroom

Event Details

  • 2019 Distinguished Bostonian award recipient, Sheila Lirio Marcelo, joins us for our October Women’s Network Breakfast.

Tickets

2019 Distinguished Bostonian award recipient, Sheila Lirio Marcelo, joins us for our October Women’s Network Breakfast.

When she couldn’t find care for her two children and aging parents, Sheila Marcelo turned a challenge into an opportunity: she started Care.com. In the thirteen years since, Care.com has grown to serve more than 34 million people in over 20 countries and has been the trusted resource for families to access affordable care services and caregivers to find meaningful work.

Each year $280 billion is spent on child and senior care in the U.S. and that number is expected to grow, exponentially, in the future. Women continue to be the primary caregivers in households and, when they lack support, their careers are hit hard. Lack of caregiving support is a leading cause of absenteeism in the workplace – when women can’t work, individuals and businesses lose out. As the founder, chairwoman, and CEO of Care.com, Sheila has revolutionized the caregiving industry and helped connect families with access to affordable caregiving solutions.

In our next Women’s Network Breakfast, Sheila joins us to discuss, among other topics, investing in women-led businesses, and how businesses can be both mission-based and profitable, and what it means to be an authentic leader.

This program is being held in conjunction with WE BOS Week, an initiative of the Mayor’s Office of Women’s Advancement. To learn more about WE BOS Week and what the City of Boston is doing to support women entrepreneurs, click here.

Sheila founded Care.com in 2006 after her personal challenges as a young working mother finding care for two small children and ailing parents shed a spotlight on the massive care needs of families everywhere.  Today, the company is the world’s largest online destination for finding and managing family care, serving more than 30 million people across 20 countries.  Committed to building a company that can be both profitable and mission-based, Sheila continues to drive innovation across Care.com’s platforms and services to enable families to find care and caregivers to find meaningful work, while also leveraging the company’s data and reach to drive systemic change across the care economy as a whole.

Tania Del Rio is Executive Director for the Mayor’s Office of Women’s Advancement, where she focuses on the mission of promoting gender equity by empowering women and removing systemic barriers to their advancement. Her focus is on three priority areas: economic equity, safety, and empowerment. In a previous role at the City of Boston, Del Rio worked as the Diversity Outreach Officer for the Mayor’s Office. She previously worked with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Mexico on using data to identify barriers for female diplomats in the Foreign Service. Her work was presented with the Outstanding Policy Analysis Exercise and the Jane Mansbridge Research Awards for research on women and gender at the Harvard Kennedy School. Tania was also the Head of the Protection and Community Affairs Departments at the Consulate of Mexico in Boston. In that role, she worked to protect the rights of immigrants in New England and collaborated with community leaders to amplify their advocacy efforts. This work put her in contact with people from a broad range of experiences, including prison populations, children and youth, faith-based and cultural organizations, as well as private sector partners in five New England states. Her experience also includes political advising and press relations. She holds a Master in Public Policy degree from the Harvard Kennedy School of Government and a Bachelor’s degree in International Relations from New York University. A proud Mexican-American, she lives in East Boston with her family. As a former varsity swimmer, she enjoys practicing sports, especially swimming, water polo, and running.
